[2.0.16] Rocket turrets loaded with biter spawner capture rockets don't fire at all

Post by factoriouzr »

As described. Captured a biter/spitter spawner, put laser turrets with filters next to it in case it goes wild again so it only kills the biters. Also put a rocket turret next to it with capture rockets set to only fire on spawners for biters and spitters. The spawner converted back to wild and the rocket turret just sits there not firing at the spawner. Tried unchecking ignore unfiltered checkbox, still not firing. Had to come back to the planet to manually re-capture spawner.

do you have a save game that would show the situation ?
To me the unfiltered rocket turrets loaded with capture pod are able to recapture the spawner. It may have to do with the filter working only on "non-captive" spawner.

I figured out the issue. The turret has a minimum range. When in remote view and not zoomed out far enough, the inner no-fire range of the turret looks like the actual range, so the turret was too close to the spawner. Thanks for the help.
